At Elevation Strategies, we develop strategic plans that invite your community in, both through our process and outcomes. Nonprofits’ missions are too big for a single organization to carry alone. That’s why our approach centers shared power and collective responsibility–so your strategic plan isn’t just a document, but a path forward your community helped shape.

When uncertainty arises, a clear decision-making framework grounded in your values is essential.  Strategic filters help your team evaluate new opportunities, navigate tough choices, and stay focused—whether you’re weighing a program expansion or rethinking services that no longer meet community needs. Strategic filters help organizations be responsive to opportunities and threats outside of a strategic plan.

You have the vision to expand your impact. We help you turn that vision into reality. From crafting the program model to mapping staffing, budget, and timeline, we work alongside field experts to ensure your new initiative follows best practices and breaks new ground.

We only know our measure of success by asking the right people the right questions. We specialize in survey development and listening sessions that feel accessible to everyone who is invested in your organization’s success.

Donors want to know their support will truly make a difference. We write compelling cases for support and funding proposals rooted in community voice—so you’re not just asking for money, you’re inviting investment in meaningful, measurable change. We write cases for support and proposals that are rooted in what your clientele, participants, and community identify as your biggest opportunities.

You know you need a new building, but where do you start? We help you create a step-by-step path forward when considering a capital project, from how to evaluate needs, to building a case for support, to choosing an architect. We provide coaching and support all along the way.
